Speaking as a lead player using a Tele and a Super Reverb, that being a 4/10" speaker amp, I usually have it standing straight up behind me; depending on the size of the room it may be miked or not. I do like to run a bit of volume on the amp rather than depend on the monitors for my stage sound; also, tube amps sound better when they are cranked up a bit. I did like what was said about DYNAMICS--very important, and it makes the difference between music and noise.

I play pretty loud to hear myself. I always appreciate it when someone tells me I am too loud (or too soft). It's hard to know what the balance is out front or elsewhere on stage when you're sitting next to your amp.

I'm moving this topic to "Electronics".
